11.11am, Sitting on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy. Today I was hungover, from all the drinking and dancing of last night. But it wasn't a bag hangover, it was just a good one to indulge. So I ate yummy food and watched telly, then Charlie and Lou came over and I dropped them at the Johns household to get their car. We hung there for a bit, taking weird hungover photos, and then I came home and went to see the Ley-Stephens at the Old Coastguard. I loved it, the sun was out, Ruan and Kit were being gorgeous, and some other friends were in the gardens too. It was a gorgeous afternoon, before I went home, had a bath, watched some netball and finally went to bed.

Sunday 21 April – Happy, sunny Easter!
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Chilling at home, eating chocolate and crisps! Lent is over (they were the two things I gave up!) so I was making up for lost time. In the afternoon, Andy and I cycled over to Perranuthnoe to have a lovely beach hang with Mum and Dad, then we came home and I jumped in the sea at battery Rocks, before Andy, Charlie, Lou and I headed to the Johns household for a barbecue. The sun was out, the food was amazing, all the delicious cocktails were flowing. It was ace! Then we walked to the Packet in Rosudgeon (well, we walked for 10 minutes, then Say drove us the rest of the way) where there was a DJ playing, and we danced all night long, and chatted and had an all-time funny night.

Saturday 20 April – Beach and babes
Current location: Sennen
11.11am, I was heading to the beach with Mum and Dad. The Pyrah were already there, and Andy came to join us later. I'd already been to Hayle for a gym session, and been to town to buy Easter-related things, so after a day of sunshine and ice-cream at the beach, I was expecting a quiet night in while Andy went to work. But in a great twist of fate, my gorgeous friend Christina was down visiting and staying about 10 metres away from my house, so I took her and her sister Ellie for some wines at The Old Coastguard, and it was SO cosy and nice.

Friday 19 April – Sunshine and senoritas
Current location: Marazion
11.11am, At Lily's. I walked over in the sunshine to see my schoolfriends who are (almost) all down for Easter, with their gorgeous boys. We ate biscuits, played with the kids, drank tea and caught up; I loved it! In the afternoon, Andy and I headed to Sennen, where I hung with Lou and swam in the sea and lapped up the beautiful sunshine. In the evening I met Ruth and Nicky in Lovett's, a new wine bar, and absolutely loved being with my girls. Such a special eve.

Wednesday 17 April – Some sort of netball
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Working from home. At lunchtime, Andy and I had a wander down to Battery Rocks (in my AMAZING new shoes), then in the evening we'd arranged a netball friendly between the 4ths and 5ths. Sadly only 3 of our team could come, but we had a lot of fill-ins, and it was great fun!

Sunday 14 April – Seal and Leas (some sort of anagram)
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Hanging out at the home with the Leas. As the day progressed towards lunchtime, we decided to head to Godrevy and have a walk to see the seals. They were out in force, playing and swimming. I love it there! It was pretty blustery and cold though, so we bustled little Jesse inside to the Rockpool, where we had a long and yummy lunch, before those guys headed back to Devon. Andy and I went to see Charlie and Lou, and watch some football in the pub, and then I had a gorgeous evening out with my schoolfriend to the Meadery. I adore those girls.

Saturday 13 April – The Leas visit
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Getting the house sorted for Emma, Brodie and Jesse to arrive. When they got here, we had lunch (I made soup) and then went to Sennen for a walk on the beach and a beer in the pub. Andy had to go to work then, so the rest of us went home, my parents came over for a drink, and then after Jesse went to bed, us three had some drinks and made dinner. Andy came back just in time to eat it, and we all had a nice, albeit a bit late, night.

Wednesday 10 April – Escape Room
Current location: Penzance
11.11pm, At home. Thankfully! I'd been to an escape room with some netball friends, so I'm glad I wasn't still locked in there! It was so so so much fun, and thank goodness I was going it with those girls, as I was not very helpful. But it was ace!
I had today off, and Andy and I had a financial meeting (boring) then went for a GORGEOUS walk at Loe Bar with our great friends Charlie and Lou who have moved over from Oz. I am so glad they are here!

Friday 12 April – My wild Friday night
Current location: Penzance
11.11pm, Asleep. Tired and happy. I'd spent this evening mainly at the gym, which actually does make me really happy. I sat on the bike for almost 2 hours, watching netball and getting some kms through my legs, and it felt good!

Thursday 11 April – Cake and book club
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Making plans for later. Today is my gorgeous nephew Vinny's 12th birthday, so I went over after work for cake and pressies and cuddles. (We got him breakdancing lessons!) Afterwards I went to Alice's house for Book Club - even though there was only 3 of us, it was a good and fun one, with some deep chats and some flowing wine.

Sunday 7 April – Camel Studio wedding venue launch
Current location: Washaway
11.11am, At a photoshoot. Andy (in his wedding photography business of South Weds Wedding Photography) was taking pictures at a styled shoot, and I was part helping him, part helping the venue for their launch event. Camel Studio is such an amazing spot, and I would love to get married there (if I wasn't already!). The shoot went so well, despite wind and clouds, and heaps of that was down to the wonderful team. The photos are going to be epic!
In the afternoon once it was done, we drove home and spent the evening with Marie and Daz. We randomly ended up at the amusement arcade, where we won lots of tickets on the 2p machine and laughed a LOT, then came home and ate homemade lasagne and drank loads of wine. We had the best chats, I am so happy these guys are in Andy's (and therefore my) family. Good for the soul.

Saturday 6 April – Rie and Daz descend!
Current location: Penzance
11.11pm, Sitting around at home having some drinks. Andy's awesome cousins Marie and Darren have come to visit from Oz, so when they arrived, we had a bit of a blustery walk to Mousehole, had a drink at the Old Coastguard, and then went to the Benbow for dinner. So many chats, so much laughing, I love this pair.

Thursday 4 April – Old friends, new faces
Current location: Mousehole
11.11am, Having coffee with my beautiful friend Rhian, and her equally beautiful baby Annabel. We were very overdue a prior catch-up (it's the first time I've met Annabel) and we had an amazing, painful, emotional, wonderful chat, and a walk around the harbour.
In the evening we met two new-ish friends Paulo and Tom, and went to the Mexico for a pub quiz with them and Tom's parents. I think we came second!

Sunday 31 March – Mother's Day moseying
Current location: St Ives
11.11am, Getting out the sea! I went for the NICEST walk with Mum this morning, and it could not have been a nicer way to celebrate Mother's Day. It was super sunny and warm and lovely, and we walked from Lelant to Porthminster, and then had a coffee there. The sea was looking super inviting... so in we hopped! In the afternoon, Andy and I went walking out at Mullion. There are just so many gorgeous places to explore in this part of the world...

Friday 29 March – Newlyn night out
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Working – which I don't usually do on a Friday! But it meant that, come 5pm, I got that Friday feeling and so Andy and I went out for some drinks at a new wine bar in Newlyn, Lovett's. It was so nice, really snug and a great atmosphere. Afterwards we wandered along to a new Portuguese restaurant called The Sound Pantry... really good food, and they have decks and records so you can put your own music on!
